What Wizz Air may argue against your claim
Technical fault
Airlines frequently cite a technical fault. The CJEU has held that a technical problem inherent in the normal operation of an aircraft is not in itself an extraordinary circumstance (Wallentin-Hermann, C-549/07), and that the airline must show the event could not have been avoided by reasonable measures (van der Lans, C-257/14).
- C-549/07
- C-257/14
Air traffic control and strikes
Air traffic restrictions and strikes are frequently cited. A spontaneous strike by an airline's own staff, following a decision taken by the airline, has been held not to be an extraordinary circumstance (Krusemann, C-195/17), while air traffic control strikes are assessed case by case.
- C-195/17
Weather
Weather is frequently cited as the cause of a delay or cancellation. Only conditions incompatible with safe operation of the flight can amount to extraordinary circumstances, and the airline must show a direct link to your flight and that it took all reasonable measures (Eglitis, C-294/10).
- C-294/10
Crew shortage
Crew unavailability is frequently presented as the reason for a disruption. Staff planning normally forms part of an airline's ordinary activity and, following the Court's reasoning, does not usually amount to an extraordinary circumstance (Wallentin-Hermann, C-549/07).
- C-549/07
Extraordinary circumstances
Airlines frequently invoke extraordinary circumstances in general terms. They can remove the compensation obligation only if the event could not have been avoided even with all reasonable measures, and the burden of proof lies with the airline. An arrival delay of at least 3 hours is treated like a cancellation for compensation purposes (Sturgeon, C-402/07; Nelson, C-581/10).
- C-402/07
- C-581/10
Outcomes depend on the facts of each case.
